After a winter of hard touring, followed by a short break, San Antonio's rock 'n' roll heroines, Girl in a Coma, are gearing up to hit the road again.

First comes a Texas jaunt that'll kick off with a Saturday show at White Rabbit with The Whigs, The Rosedale Highs and Disco Wasteland. When GIAC, Phanie Diaz (drums), Nina Diaz (guitar, vocals) and Jenn Alva (bass), hits downbeat, magic happens via a fusion of alt-rock and punk filtered through a distinct S.A. sensibility.

Don't be fashionably late because you won't want to miss The Whigs. The Athens, Ga., trio, fresh from appearing on “The Tonight Show,” plays a guitar-powered blend of alt-rock and all-out roots rock. The Whigs have toured with fellow travelers including Drive-By Truckers and Kings of Leon, while establishing a loyal, rocking fan base via albums including “Give 'Em All a Big Fat Lip,” “Mission Control,” “In the Dark” and the latest, “Enjoy the Company.”
